  • Small Sewer Backup at Home in Charlotte

    One of our calls for water damage restoration in Charlotte this morning was from a customer that had an issue of water damage caused from a small sewer backup at their home. Luckily they caught it in time and the homeowner knew from past experience of water damage how to prevent all of the water that was stuck in the sewer line from coming back into the home and causing additional water damage to other areas. The customer advised us that he was downstairs and noticed water trickling from be under the bathroom door. he ran inside and realized this was going happening. To prevent the need for water restoration service he immediately walked outside and opened the clean out valve to lessen the amount of water damage taking place. This was a good decision it made the water release outside by lowering the pressure in the sewer line. After releasing the water pressure he looked it over to see if he needed assistance with the cleanup or if he can do it his self. After evaluating the amount of water damage he contacted us to provide the water damage restoration service needed.

  • Water Heater in Attic Rains Down on Charlotte Home

    when we get called for water damage Restoration in Charlotte there’s one thing that we frequently say when it comes to certain issues related to water damage cleanup. one of the things that we see quite a few times in more often than we should is water heaters that burst and they’re located in the attic of a home if the home is two stories that would actually mean there would be water damage on the 2 floors below if the home is three stories then there would be water damage on the three floors below. This is reason why as a water restoration company in Charlotte we do not feel that a water heater in the attic is a good idea for homeowners.

  • Will Insurance Cover Water Damage?

    as a company providing water damage Restoration in Charlotte we frequently find ourselves answering questions that are somewhat repetitive from our water damage cleanup customer. One of the most common questions that you here in the water restoration industry is Will insurance cover water damage? The short answer is yes in most situations and it does depend on your policy water damage to your home is always covered but there are some exceptions that water damage cleanup cost may not be covered. These exceptions could be situations arising from things that exceed your policy limits for example you may have a certain limit for sewer backup coverage or you may have not had a particular endorsement on your insurance policy that would provide coverage for water damage cost. regardless of the situation it just kind of depends but in most cases water damage is covered by insurance as long as it is something that is sudden that is addressed immediately and not prolonging the further issues that water damage that is untreated can cause to a home.
